Wildlife Viewing
Raccoons, chipmunks and squirrels are noisy neighbours around the campground and it's not unusual to spot deer or moose on the hiking trails. Warblers, thrushes, chickadees, woodpeckers and great blue herons also make the park their home.

Boating
Motorboats are permitted on the park lakes and can be eased into the water at a boat launch.

Swimming
Lake St. Peter has a large, sandy beach with warm, clear water, ideal for family swimming.

Cycling
There are no dedicated cycling trails in the park but local forest access and municipal roads provide excellent biking opportunities. And the Hastings Heritage Trail, open to cyclists, is only two km away.

Other
Lake St. Peter is the northern terminus of the Hastings Heritage Trail. Located two km from the park, the trail is open year round to hikers, cyclists, horseback riders, skiers, dog sledders, snowmobilers and recreational vehicle operators.
